Where to buy a refurbished laptop or all in one pc

olb81

As the above, can anyone recommend where to buy either a laptop or a mini/all in one pc?

I slightly prefer all in one pc due to a bigger screen and keyboard further apart.

Possibly ex office equipment?

Any ideas where to look?

That's who I used, cheap enough and hopefully hassle free should it go belly up somehow. It was a Dell ex office as it happened

CEX.

ebay.

Do you already have monitor?

What is your overall budget?

I don't have a specific budget but my usage will not be demanding and I need a screen I'd prefer quite a big screen I guess 26 or more

Not CEX. Doubt they even check them properly. I'd be curious to know if they even secure wipe the drives, that would be interesting.

Agree I've bought phones from cex and had problems with the voicecalls interference especially when on speaker.

I've bought second-hand ex-business refurbished computer equipment for both work and home from Microdream, Morgan Computers, CPR Computers and Pure IT Refurbished, which are all Microsoft Certified Refurbishers, and there are many more available on a search.

It really depends what stock each firm happens to have in at the time, derived from businesses replacing their ~3-y-o equipment.

Be careful to check that Windows 11 comes with the device you purchase, since there are a few machines that can't run anything higher than Windows 10 because of Microsoft's arbitrary hardware requirements.

Reports from buyers using newandusedlaptops are that if you return the junk they send you then you get banned .

Others have got ok items ultimately it sounds very hit and miss which means be prepared to test and return or dont bother .
